The growing connection between cancer, body energy use, and daily biological clocks
Updated
Abstract
Disruption of circadian rhythms is associated with cancer according to epidemiological and clinical data.
- Circadian rhythms regulate various metabolic and gene expression pathways linked to physiological processes.
- Preclinical data support the connection between circadian rhythm disruption and cancer.
- Animal models and molecular studies highlight emerging links between cancer metabolism and the circadian clock.
- Potential therapeutic approaches may involve chronopharmacological strategies.
